Two sisters, sister A and sister B, play SCRABBLE with each other every evening. Sister A is a statistician, and she draws a ran

dom sample of 30 results from the 1,420 total games that have been played to construct a confidence interval estimate of p, the proportion of SCRABBLE games between her and her sister that she has won. Her 95% confidence interval estimate of p is LCL = 0.36, UCL = 0.69.
A 95% confidence interval estimate of the total number of games sister A has won out of the 1,450 games that have been played is LCL =___________ and UCL = ___________

The Illinois State Toll Highway Authority is conducting a study to estimate the proportion of low-income commuters who drive to work on a toll road. The project manager wants to estimate the proportion to within 0.03 with 95% confidence, and the project manager believes that p will turn out to be approximately 0.11.

A sample size no smaller than __________ is needed.

Answer:

First question: LCL = 522, UCL = 1000.5

Second question: A sample size no smaller than 418 is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

First question:

Lower bound:

0.36 of 1450. So

0.36*1450 = 522

Upper bound:

0.69 of 1450. So

0.69*1450 = 1000.5

LCL = 522, UCL = 1000.5

Second question:

In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of \pi, and a confidence level of 1-\alpha, we have the following confidence interval of proportions.

\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

In which

z is the zscore that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}.

The margin of error is:

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

The project manager believes that p will turn out to be approximately 0.11.

This means that \pi = 0.11

95% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.05, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.05}{2} = 0.975, so Z = 1.96.

The project manager wants to estimate the proportion to within 0.03

This means that the sample size needed is given by n, and n is found when M = 0.03. So

M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}

0.03 = 1.96\sqrt{\frac{0.11*0.89}{n}}

0.03\sqrt{n} = 1.96\sqrt{0.11*0.89}

\sqrt{n} = \frac{1.96\sqrt{0.11*0.89}}{0.03}

(\sqrt{n})^2 = (\frac{1.96\sqrt{0.11*0.89}}{0.03})^2

n = 417.9

Rounding up

A sample size no smaller than 418 is needed.

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

L= 0.83 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Width= 1.2 in when length = 1 in

Required

Determine the length when width = 1 in

First, we need to determine the ratio

Ratio = \frac{Width}{Length}

Ratio = \frac{1.2}{1}

Ratio = 1.2 ---(1)

Let the required length be represented with L

So:

Ratio = \frac{Width}{Length}

Ratio = \frac{1}{L} ---(2)

Equate (1) and (2)

\frac{1}{L} = 1.2

Multiply through by 1.2

L * \frac{1}{L} = 1.2 * L

1 = 1.2 * L

Divide through by 1.2

L = \frac{1}{1.2}

L = 0.83 in (Approximated)

When Mei does 17 push-ups and 6 sit-ups, it takes a total of 35 seconds. In comparison, she needs 41 seconds to do 20 push-ups a
Romashka [77]

Answer:

It takes 1 seconds for push-ups and 3 seconds for sit-ups for Mei to do exercise.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let the time taken for push-ups be 'x'.

Let the time taken for sit-ups be 'y'.

Now Given:

17 push-ups and 6 sit-ups, it takes a total of 35 seconds.

So we can say that;

17x+6y=35 \ \ \ \ equation \ 1

Also Given:

41 seconds to do 20 push-ups and 7 sit-ups.

so we can say that;

20x+7y=41 \ \ \ \ equation \ 2

Now Multiplying equation 1 by 7 we get;

7(17x+6y)=35\times7\\\\119x+42y= 245 \ \ \ \ equation \ 3

Now Multiplying equation 2 by 6 we get;

6(20x+7y)=41\times6\\\\120x+42y = 246 \ \ \ \ equation\ 4

Now Subtracting equation 3 from equation 4 we get;

120x+42y-(119x+42y)=246-245\\\\120x+42y-119x-42y=1\\\\x=1\ sec

Now substituting the value of x in equation 1 we get;

17x+6y=35\\\\17\times1+6y=35\\\\17+6y=35\\\\6y=35-17\\\\6y= 18\\\\y=\frac{18}6 = 3\ seconds

Hence It takes 1 seconds for push-ups and 3 seconds for sit-ups for Mei to do exercise.
